@davescook @bitmap_books Looks stunning Dave. Great work all round!

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

A fantastic new addition to the gaming bookshelf with a signed copy of @tonywarriner's REVOLUTION: THE QUEST FOR GAME DEVELOPMENT GREATNESS after meeting the man himself yesterday - we live in the same city. Can't wait to get stuck in. Loved Revolution Software back in the day.

@leither_mark Wow, that’s really impressive. Some great detail work there!

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

Looks fantastic Mark! Great job. Are you planning on doing anymore?

[Mr Happymac @leither_mark]

@WeHeartBoxArt After spending some time restoring this image, it's grown on me and I like it more and more

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

@leither_mark Nice. Always a hard job working on balance and colours on these type of things. Especially when the printing techniques were very different to todays standards.

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

@csd8204 It could well be.

@GuyFawkesRetro I don’t think I have it either. Both the Uk and Japanese versions are on my wish list though.

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

@GuyFawkesRetro The US rarely got it right when it came to box art, but I’d be interested to know how much communication went on between the east and west and sharing marketing assets. I’m guessing it a lot.

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

@davescook It’s on my wishlist and will be treating myself to this next month! Can’t wait.

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

@bitmap_books You too! Can’t wait to get stuck in.

[WeHeartBoxArt @WeHeartBoxArt]

You can’t beat getting a @bitmap_books parcel, especially when it comes with some #SonicTheHedgehog socks! A great way to end 2021.

Happy new year everyone!

Take a look at Grzegorz Domaradzki's (Gabz) amazing key art for the new video game 'Evil West' by @Flying_Wild_Hog.

#Gabz has also recently done box art for id Software's Doom Eternal Collectors Edition.

@hachobby They certainly knew how to dress a game up, good or bad. Though my nostalgia for them prevents me from thinking they ever had a bad game
